What happens here

A crucial component for quality brine production is the digital salinity reader with a toroidal sensor, built into the brine maker. This sensor reads the salinity of the brine in real-time, allowing precise control over the mixing process. It is essential to mix brine to the eutectic point (23.3% salt) to achieve the optimal freeze point of -6°F. This specific mix is the most stable solution and prevents the brine from freezing at higher temperatures (like 32°F if over-saturated) or being ineffective (if under-saturated). The system can even send readings to a smartphone for remote monitoring.

Goal: Achieve the ideal brine concentration for maximum effectiveness and stability

Tools and materials

  • Digital Salinity Reader Brine Buddy — Measuring the salt concentration in the brine
  • Smartphone — Receiving real-time salinity readings (if connected)
  • Toroidal Sensor — Reading brine salinity in real-time from inside the batch tank

woods yep so really important piece of technology here exact same as the brine buddy just on a different brine maker this is our digital cinity reader so this goes into a sensor which is in our batch tank down here there's a sensor inside this tank it's called the trial sensor and that will actually you read the salinity of your brine in real time as we've talked about it's extremely important to mix your brine to What's called the TIC point 23.3% one of the most common failures in brine is mixing your brine wrong cuz like we talked about in video one if you mix to 26.5% it freezes at 32° just like water we don't want to oversaturate our brine at the same time we don't want to mix brine to 15% cuz that doesn't have a very good freeze point either getting that to that 23.3% tic Point gives you a freeze point of -6° f also the most stable solution so that it's not going to fall out of solution in storage so this piece of technology is extremely vital to success your brine operation and we've simplified it by not only having an electronic sensor but it goes to your smartphone so you can read your slity in real time um going beyond that
